Our take on the JBL Charge 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Charge 5 is a portable Bluetooth speaker with a 40W output, a built-in power bank and a 20-hour battery. Its IPX7 rating means it survives full submersion, so it works at the pool or beach. It sits above the smaller Flip 6 in loudness and bass and below the larger Xtreme 3 in scale. Reviewers consistently praise its punchy sound and rugged build, though some find the mids recessed and the speaker heavy for carrying far.

Questions and answers

Is the JBL Charge 5 worth it over the Flip 6?
If you want more bass, longer battery and phone charging, the Charge 5 is the stronger pick. The Flip 6 is smaller and easier to carry but plays less loud.
Can the JBL Charge 5 be fully submerged in water?
Yes. Its IPX7 rating covers being submerged in about a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Rinse and dry the port cover after salt or chlorine exposure.
How long does the battery actually last?
JBL rates it at up to 20 hours. Expect somewhat less at high volume, and charging a phone from it will shorten playback time.
Can I charge my phone with it?
Yes. It has a USB port that works as a power bank, so you can top up a phone from the speaker's battery.
Does it have a microphone for calls?
No. The Charge 5 has no mic or speakerphone function, so calls go through your phone.
Can I pair two Charge 5 speakers together?
Yes. You can link two Charge 5 units in stereo or run several JBL PartyBoost-compatible speakers together for bigger sound.
Where is the JBL Charge 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker cheapest?
At Samsung, for $179.95, as of our latest check.
